Bedrooms (36m2 each) are equipped with king size beds, writing desks. Large doors into bathrooms (east bathroom is 24m2, the west bathroom is 36m2 ( includes spa area).can be wide open creating the harmony of semi-open space with large bathtubs (2mX1M wide), wooden floor, rough marble wall. The soothing sound of the water coming down over the 2m high ceramic vase contributes to the tranquility of the place and invites to rest.

There are many places to rest at the villa: besides bedrooms, there is a bale (10m2) with the view to the ocean, the welcoming front porch (30m2) with daybeds and antique armchairs.

Villa Joglo is a combination of an antique teak house from Java with contemporary architectural elements.

Another bedroom upstairs (36m2) with vaulted thatched (alang-alang) ceiling offers the best view of the ocean.

4 adults plus children can reside at the villa with comfort.

Over the years our compound has proven to be the great place for family travels, welcoming kids by a safe beach, children pool and a lot of grass fields, large enough to put together a friendly family soccer match. Many families have become loyal returning customers. There are hundreds of reviews at the villas and many are posted online (We are posting here one of the recent review left by a seasoned traveler: “We had the most AMAZING time at your gorgeous property. We can’t stop talking or thinking about it. It was so relaxing and beautiful. The staff was fantastic; Ayu helped us out with every request.

We have been to Bali around 16 times since 1997, staying at guesthouses, luxury hotels, and many different villas. Your place was definitely our favorite villa that we have rented. I loved all the antiques — much more my preference than all the modern luxury villas popping up — and villas were so well laid out. The garden is beautiful, and the views of course, stunning. Also, we have stayed in Candi Dasa a few times, but this was our first time to your village. We loved it! Nice locals, and definitely more clean and well-kept than many villages in the area. Thank you so much for sharing your little piece of heaven with us! We hope to stay there again someday”. Amy B.

About CKS management

We are very interested in Balinese arts and culture. For more than 20 years we were coming to Bali to work, enjoy the weather and get inspired. Finally, by 2010 we settled in Bali and build the compound of 3 villas. Yet not retired to live in Bali most of the time, we are trying to spend as much time as possible here. We are enjoying meeting new people and eager to share our knowledge and contacts in arts and theatre. We are yoga enthusiasts, play a lot of recreational tennis, dive.

CKS management purchased this Villa in 2010

Why CKS management chose Bebandem

It is a great alternative to Bali's overcrowded South. Incredible nature, mountains surroundings, safe ocean, great for boat activities, snorkeling and sailing. New highway makes our place very accessible, it takes only 50 min to get to Sanur these days. Plus, we like it quiet. Like many creative people we need the sound of the wave and the wind to concentrate on our work.
Our villas are built in Traditional Indonesian style with contemporary twists at the palm fringed beach overlooking coral reefed lagoon outside the town of Candidasa.
You will love an oasis of calm and comfort decorated with cleverly chosen local antiques, artwork and crafts you’ll want to take home with you.
All meals can be catered at the villa or you can eat out in a wide variety of local restaurants, but with kids in tow it’s a good idea to stock up on snacks and favorite foods for light lunches. Groceries can be ordered in for you, or have the driver take you to a supermarket in one of the larger towns at the beginning of your stay to stock up on necessities. There is a German baker in the local town for fresh bread and rolls.
Wonderful massages can be booked in the spa courtyard, private yoga sessions or tennis lessons can be arranged on request.

What makes this Villa unique

Three villas share large (6200m2) oceanfront property with 100 coconut trees. Villa Joglo and villa Saraswati larger rental villas are built using antique carved wooden walls and ceilings from a traditional Javanese homes. Intricate carved wood delights the eye at every turn and is combined with wide glass doors all over villas' sides to create an interior that is at once rooted in tradition and modern and light filled. Beautifully decorated with a mixture of contemporary artworks and quirky traditional craft, every piece of furniture is individual, carefully chosen and comfortable as well as beautiful.
Floors are smooth local stone tiles, tactile and pleasing to bare feet – there is no reason to wear shoes at all at the villa, inside or out as the grass lawns are soft as deep pile carpet.
Upstairs in Villa Joglo the stunning carved ceiling is the architectural focus. The two bedrooms are divided by the wooden panels and glass doors, and the central sitting area curtained at night. Central area can become an additional bedroom. There are two beautifully fitted bathrooms with soft fluffy towels, huge granite tubs and stone sinks. All three rooms open onto a wide wrap-around balcony with an upstairs sitting area and stunning views through the palms to the sea and the island of Nusa Penida.
Balinese thatched villa Yoga Bale has two large bedrooms and its own spacious open living room with soaring thatch ceiling. It is designed for island living with two sides open to the garden, closed in only by rattan blinds when windy and at night. The downstairs family bedroom with two large carved wood beds and plenty of space for a cot is the room. The two bathrooms are open air, like small private courtyards. Beautiful carved wooden beds, soft linen sheets and well-chosen pillows make for comfort all our villas.

I have nothing but great things to say. The property was just as displayed in the photos, better actually. Staff was friendly and attentive! We spent 11 days here and happily called it home!

Didn't want to leave but real life called and would welcome the opportunity to visit the villas and Bali again in the future ... until them we have great memories

We booked all 3 villas so we could share this beautiful place with friends. The villas are all beautiful! The grounds truly stunning lying by the pool was just Bliss! The Reef fascinating lots of fish to see for those who snorkel. The team of staff so wonderful Ayu and team so lovely, friendly and helpful the kids talk of them still! This is definitely a non touristy part of Bali which is stunning much to see and do if your prepared to travel away from the Villa a little. The group enjoyed visits to Coffee plantations, rice fields, water temples, Volcano cycle ride and a Boat trip over to the Gili Islands all thoroughly recommended. This place was incredibly special and I can't recommend it highly enough to anyone thinking of staying were just looking for an excuse to return tho from the UK it's a Long Trip. We will be back tho Thankyou so much for sharing with us your wonderful Home. The Jackson, Cornwell & Boardman Families. UK

We decided to rent all 3 villas as a group of 13 at the end of August '16 and what a great decision it was. Peaceful & relaxed are the best words to describe thre place.

Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, they are very inconspicuous when not required but are there within seconds as soon as you have a request. Ayu, the house manager is happy to suggest and book restaurant options and will help with day trip ideas etc.

As for the area, it's nice and quiet but the bars of Candi Dasa are just a few minutes drive away (most restaurants have a driver and will come and pick you up). There are a few nice restaurants within a few minute walk that offer good Balinese food but also pizza and burgers for the less adventurous. I can fully recommend the restaurant at the Sea Breeze hotel right next to the villas. Of course the food cooked by the staff at the villas is excellent - ask about the traditional Balinese banquet!

We would go back tomorrow if we could which should be recommendation enough!!

Beautiful Expansive Property in a charming and quiet area of Bali

Our party of 16 took over the Citakara Sari compound for over two weeks this past summer. It is a gorgeous property with lovely expansive grounds, spacious villas that gave us all our own privacy while having a great common room for meals and get togethers. The property is on the "sleepier" side of Bali away from the hustle of Seminyak. There are several great excursions about 45 minutes from the Villa that we explored. We ventured to various beaches and snorkeled at the Blue Lagoon. We took advantage of the bbq prepared by the staff one night and had local performers come a do a "Frog Dance" that was a fun treat. Iyu the property manager helped us navigate around town and we worked with several different drivers to take us to destinations outside of the main village. On the same strip of beach there are several different hotels which were convenient to drop into for lunches and dinners to change up the pace. We loved using the tennis courts and the mini raft in the pool which the kids turned into their own pirate ship. We had been traveling all summer and Citakara Sari was the perfect place to end our whirlwind vacation. We searched for treasure (sea glass, shells, etc) on our own private beach, lounged at the pool, played cards under the gazebo and got lost watching the waves. Iyu arranged for massages that were heavenly. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the villas and would recommend to families with all ages, wedding parties and friends.

The villa is superb, the view is amazing, the team is professional and very helpful, always here when you need. It is a little corner in paradise, closed to Candi Dasa (5mn by car), very quiet and relaxing, but you can also make visits to nice places.

Most relaxing holiday ever!!!

Susannah S.

We took both villas....both were divine and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We even organised a dinner party with a suckling pig and had friends come over...there was nothing to do from setting the table to cleaning up. The most relaxing holiday in a beautiful villa with lovely pool and discrete helpful staff. Staying here was the highlight of the trip...you really don't need to venture beyond the gates!!! Although we had to since we were attending a conference at a hotel near by....Citi Kara Sari was the much better venue.

Having a driver at your disposal really helped since local knowledge is a must and the drivers we saw on the road caused lots of amusement for their lack of concern for themselves.

Would recommend it to those with family group or large party of friends. Sleeps 8 couples perfectly. A truly relaxing holiday thanks to the great staff.

Our Estate is located right on the beach, has 6 bedrooms in three villas, sleeping 12 adults(of course, kids staying with their parents in the same bedrooms). There is tennis court, spa and sauna on site, fruit garden and more. We are in Candi Dasa, a quiet haven on the Bali's east coast, which is known as a quiet refuge for artists, writers, and discerning travelers, seeking a beautiful retreat away from larger westernized resorts. We have 7 service personnel attending to almost any guests' needs. We organize private shows involving the best artistic talent of Bali performed at he villas.

There are many wonderful restaurants in the area though our chef offers great menu and may entice you to dine in. We have great ocean views and the white-sand beach is at out boat ramp. Great diving is short boat ride away, snorkeling is right off the beach. Our compound of 3 villas is build on 6200m2 of land filled with grass, thousands of plants and flowers, 100 palm trees, pools and fish ponds. Our place is great for large families, reunions, weddings, celebrations.
